TrueFire - Fingerboard Breakthrough TUTORIAL

Although is one of the very few bona fide masters of jazz guitar walking the planet today, Fingerboard Breakthrough is NOT a jazz course. Morgen is also one of the most highly respected arrangers in the biz and an accomplished fingerstyle solo guitarist; however Fingerboard Breakthrough is NOT a fingerstyle course, nor is it a solo guitar or method course. So what exactly is Fingerboard Breakthrough and why is it good for you

Imagine basing everything you know about world geography on one of those old world maps such as the Al-Idrisi Mappa Mundi created in 1154, and then all of a sudden, you’re handed a modern world atlas. Everything you thought you knew is turned upside down, while at the same time everything becomes crystal clear. Fingerboard Breakthrough will likewise enlighten your understanding of harmony and the fingerboard in a way that can only be described as “breakthrough.” Morgen’s system for applying harmonic concepts and visualizing the fingerboard stems from over 40 years of study, arranging, performance and teaching. “As guitarists, we've all experienced that sense of frustration and helplessness that occurs when, while playing, the fingerboard starts to shut down, dissolving into an elusive maze of strings and frets. Just what is it that makes viewing musical relationships on guitar so difficult Actually, there are a number of factors all of which we’re going to address and remedy in Fingerboard Breakthrough.”

The harmonic concepts and visualization techniques in Fingerboard Breakthrough can be applied to any style and are particularly useful when working with sheet music and chord symbols. “One obstacle is a misconception acquired during the earliest stages of learning to play. The misconception is that chord symbols represent isolated, unrelated finger “grips.” While this is a necessary approach for a beginner, later on, encountering more harmonically complex material, thinking of chord symbols as isolated and unrelated finger grips tends to obscure the closely interdependent horizontal flow and function of chords within a progression.” “The guitar’s irregular, unequal standard tuning system is another major impediment to harmonic understanding that all guitarists encounter from the moment we first pick up a guitar. That obstacle (which is also a double-edged sword since it has advantages as well as disadvantages) makes the guitar fingerboard elusive and difficult to visualize, frequently obscuring musical relationships.” The visualization techniques and triad applications in Fingerboard Breakthrough make it much easier to visualize and conceptualize chord construction, embellishment, and substitution, as well as voice leading techniques and advanced harmonic and improvisational concepts.

Morgen has organized the course into 23 sections, each featuring a full-length video lesson and corresponding section in the accompanying 132-page PDF manual.
